Da LOUTHERBOURG, R. 9. • We see with much pleasurelhe efforts of this Neteran, as they really manifest as much spirit and neatness in the execution as at any fortner period. The art has made very great advances sine he began his career, but he still maintains his rank, and in deed, in some respetla, is without a rival. There is great beauty in the whole- of this picture. The subjea has been 'often treated, but there appears an a:e of novelty on the present occasion. The groupe of figures are well-arranged, and are touched with ease and spirit. The , piece altogether iy marked by the usual animation of the Painter, and without that glare in which his pencil is often inclined to indulge itself. No. 42. Portrait of _Excellency the Persian Ambas- sacior.—Sir W. BzzcHiy, R. A. The present Exhibition abounds in so many por traits in the costume of the times, that the eye feels a pleasing relief in looking upon something of nlGre piaturesque nature, and such is the habit in which • tht-- original of thiS pi&ure appears. The likeness eutt, but we wonder that the Artist should have preferred an asped that presents little' more than a profile. The work is well-digested throughout, and is charaderized by a modest har- Illohy of Colouring. No. go . Portraits of a Lady and her attendant. W. Ow Eta. R. A. •This is one of the productions which give such a charm to portraits as to make the speetator, wholly indifferent about the original, and renders them va luable as mere works - ct art. The main' figure dis. Ploys an easy dignity, or rather domestic grace. i The colouring is rich ; ther e is a fi ne p realth o f light, and all the 'accessory sparts of the uiti4rk are marked by taste and spirit. No. Ito. Portrait of Lieut.-General Sir Eyte Coote..K. B. M. A. stiF.E„ R. A. It is but justice to say that this is one of the most Pi - oininent works in the present exhibition. The -figure is well-drawn, and present; a fine soldier , . like dignity. It is faithful as a likeness, and the The conies from the canvas; with bold-effect,—. the colouring iti vivid but chaste, and the whole is highly creditable to the ingenious Artist. Tsaa THEATRE.-To the honour of the public feelings, Covent Garden Theatre was crowded last Slight at an early hour. The performances were for the benefit of the Theatrical Fund of that House. The play was Dulas, and the farce Lock and ' ICey. Between the a ds Madame CATALAN' and Mr. tasirsm, with great kindness, came forward and t'Xerttel their high talents with the most lendable ezil in support of this meritorious Institution. The tragedy was most admirably supported throughout. S I DDON s never exerted herself with more power I. - ful effect than she did last night in Lady Randolph. Indeed, we thought there were some flashes of genius, and sorne pathetic touches, which we had ( lever before observed' in her representation of the Part. The same may be said- of KEMBLE in Old Norval. It was a most interesting display of ge ouine ,pathos, and a most correct delineation of • Character. They were both received with very great applause. KEMBLE, indeed, has full reason to be satisfied with, his reception ; for as soon as his voice was heard behind the scenes in the address of 'Old Norval to the guards, the ap- Plause was universal, and continued some time. Cocoa also gave great animation to Glenalvon, and amply shared in the public approbation. The part of Douglas was sustained by CHARLES KEDIBLE in a 'very able and spirited manner. CATALAN' sang a ne Italian air, and was rapturously encored. She Complied with great readiness, and received the public applause with every appearance of modest BRALIAM sung t of his favourite airs, and was also warmly encored as well as .applauded. In the Farce of Lock and Key, MUNDEN, to add to the general entertainment, introduced his song of " Sly Reynard," which he gave with very humorous elect. Thew hole was rendered a rich treat, by the ex cellence of the respective performancei, and 'the still' more gratifying consciousness of the benevolent pur- P Ose to which the produce is to be appropriated. We have reason. to hope that the nett profit of the night Will amount to near a thousand pounds. The per formers in general ought to be highly commended, not only for being so ready to support the benefit With their respective talents, but for the zeal with Nylich they. had previously exerted themselves to tende r it attractive and'. nteresting. Though one of the Petitioners from the Drury-lane interests stated, that the whole of the Company had been kept together under the license granted to the, Lyceum, we are assured that many of the inferior Performers and - other persons, who subsisted wholly Ilpon the late Theatre, have been in a state of des titutien during the whole- winter, some of them Aepen,ling entirely en their friends. We hope the case of these unfortunate people will be brought forward, and if their superiors in the profe'ssion were to exert themselves in suppoiting a benefit, there can be no doubt that it would be liberally patronized by the public. It is said that theßenchers of Lincoln's Inn have r eiQacdan application of Mr. BasT,. the Gentleman 'host contest with 'the late Lord CAMELFORD ter minated so unfortunately for the latter, to be called. to the Bar. The. cause assigned for this rejeaion is, t hat Mr. BasT has been a prisoner in the King's Bench. So that in the opinion of the Beneliers, the hiduStrious application of talents-and knowledge, as to th 6 instance of a connection with newspapers, dis- - qualifies a person from being called to the* Bar, and the circumstance of having . been in embarrassed cir teotustances, is an equal ground of ineligibility.— stirkety there must be some error in this report, for - it would be strange indeed that the Benchera should s' and forward in . opposition to misfortune, as well • a: to abilities.

" The Petition of the Freeholders of Middlesex, agreed to in full CoUiity, this 26th day of April, 18 to. Sheweth, " That we haVe. observed with concern , that iii the cases of Mr. John Gale Jones and .Sir FranciS Burdett, Bart. your House asiumed and eierei4ed,a power unknown to the Law ; , and unwarranted by the Constitution. " Your Speaker's Warrant has been:executed by military force. An Englishman's house, his sane tuary, has been violated, and the bloiod of unoffend ing citizens has been shed in the streets. " Against the existence, as well as the exercise of this power, we solemnly pitstesta protest the more necessary, because your votes, in its support; , are entered on your Journals—not so the Letter of Sir, Francis Burdett to your Speaker, denying you such jurisdi6tion. " In the early part of this reign, in the case of. Wiikes, the Rights of this County, and the Nation, were repeatedly and grossly violated by the House of Comnaons. - . At length the law triumphed ; after a. struggle of nearly 20 years the Hotise abandoned the pretensions they had arrogated, and' expunged from their Journals; - all their declarations, orders,- and resolution, as being subversive of the rights of the whole body of Ele&ors of this Kingdom.'• " You have during your pleasure deprived the Citizens of Westminster of their share in the Re presentation, and the public at large of the exertions of a faithful servant, in whose ability, firmness; and integrity they pre-eminently confide.

And to recall Sir Francis Burdett to the service of the Country in Parliament, 'that he may there enforce that plan of Reform which last Sssion he so powerfully recommended, and which, in our opinion, is absolutely necessary for the stability and honour of the Throne, and the safety and well-being of the People.

On Tuesday, as a man belonging to Justice Hall; in the Old Bailey, was passing through the Temple, he Observed a woman whom he knew to be a bad character, witha child about three or four years of age. She appeared to be enticing the . child away with her, which induced .hiM to: watch her. He . heard her, promise the -child.a drum and a fiddle she took it into a pastry-cook's shop in 'the 'Strand, and gaVe it a tart. He followed her till she went into Johnson's alarnoile-beef shop, in Clare -court, and then went and gave information at the Public, Office, Bow-street. Mr. Nares, the Sitting Magi strate, sent Rivett, the Officer, who brought the woman and child before the - Magistrate. The child was too young to give an at:CO - tint of itself. From-the- tale of the woman, and inquiries made by the Officers, it was ascertained that the child - was at nurse with a woman who is a laundress in. the Temple, and who, while s,he was . attending to her chambers, bad intrusted the child to a• woman, who had left it in the care of the prisoner. The laundress who had the child-under her care, was in very great distress when she-was traced. out. The prisoner was discharged.

He still,' hoWever, anxiously looked for some information On that point. LOrd SIDNICiUTH adverted to. an opinion he had formerly expressed, when a Bill of a similar nature Was'betbre their Lordships; viz. that a Committee, should be appointed to consider and report on the eases, when a ,communication from his- Majesty should be deemed necessary, in order to proceed upon Bills which involve the prerogative. He would now, as"he did then; insist that - there'Was a material clitfirence between proptietory and prero gative interests ; and 'that though' it might be ima gined that an epial necessity prevailed in both cases. o( a communication from his Majesty previous to the Aiscussipn.of such measures; yet , ire wss of opinion that - in-the latter case, ihe House was completely glee to proceed in the discussion of these questions, even though no Message had' been- sent down froth- his Majesty. if, however, it was deemed proper, that: any Message slionid-he sent on the present occasion, he thought it - would be . best to bring it down in - an early stage of the - butineSs, indeed, .before their Lordihips proceeded to the second_ reading of the Bill.

THE MIDDLESEX PETITION. Mr. BYNG presented a Petition signed by certain Freeholders of. Middlesex, somewhat similar to that of the Westrniister Meeting, which Petition was read by the Clerk at the table. _ _ Mr: BYNG Rloved that it do lie on the table. Mr. MELLISH seconded the motion, but declared that.the pledge which he had given to the Free holders to support the reception of the Petition did not.authorise them to expea that he should 'be an 'swerable for the sentiments which their Petition contained, On the qu.t•tion beirg put, The CHANCEL 1. )1i of the EXCIMUiIIt rose, and moved that the Petition; be read a- second time. The Clerk accurlingy rf.A.the Petition... , • • '" • ,0 Tib CH . itzaELLOR erne • 01:;grved; • that the lan , . = uaue.orthe Petition jtisi'read Was suidi , • as to reaveenodoubt on his mind btit that it-svtas in. 7 tlended to comcy an .insult to thee-dignity of . the, Tlons'e; :cind corisequenily, was not Et to be reeeiVed• When, tlit; Westminster Petition had been present.; ed, he had suggested the iMptopriety of receiving that Petitio4 , 2_, The views whiela on that Occasion he entertained of the object Of the petitioners were i nowt - idly confirmed by the tone, and language of the ! present Petition. _ It _must be evident to Gentlemen who felt it their duty to reject that Petitioo, ,that the tendencyot receiving such Petit idtiti was of a dan. gerous nature, for though they professed to be Petis ttons, they wet e in tact nothing - Jess than direct in . suits andltbets on the :House, -When he said thus he did not by any means with to deny that any body of Deelors had .the right of petitioning,' nor did he wish to deprive them of that, rig's', by, Shutting the doors of the House, and !urniug a deaf ear ( . o:their cOmplaints, or to their wishes and de mands expressed in a legal ananner.•.:ll the Free holders of Middlesex were real:y . serious in wishing the House to review their former proceedings, was it decorous to convey their wishes in language sucir as had just been read. He was AfriT,l that by fors ' beara.tice the House had brought noon itself this new insult. The very face of the Petition skewed that the Petitioners could have had no other objet i n view than to insult the House. Any reasonable man must be convinced of the truth of his observation, if he could look at the ,paragraph itt which it was alleged that the imprisonment of Gale Jones was an usurpation of power unknown to the laws ; to the remainder of that paragraph Which objected to the legality of the warrant or the Speaker,. and the manner in which it was carried into execution, lie had riot so much, objeCtion, as. the explanation might apply to the mere execution of the warrant.— The whole of the Petition was drawn up in language very - diderent rFpni that which • persons would use who really, tvished a rethess of supposed grievances, or who wished, the House to resiep its past proceed ings. They, iestead of so doing, applied for a ' vision as a.matter of right, andentered their protest against the proceedings of the House. He would appeal t:(e every man, however much disposed to differ ,wiah -him on other subjects;, whether the lan guage of the Petition was such its the House could •tolerate. The Wein Honourable-, Gentleman then moved that the Petition be rejected on the ground of its containing laoguage which this House could 'not endure. Mr. Alderman Costae, in support Althe Petition, recorraneradedao the li-use nut to d. tide hastAy.— •They. should ‘eivell. eonsider b. fore they consented to reject which, whatever was ,lhe language it contained, spoke the sentiments of the county of . • Mr. CALCRAFT d 01.11.1 not agree with the Hon. Alderman in his view of the. He (lid not coneeive.the Petition should be received merely be, cause it, spoke the saitiments at what was called the county. flewold.not give it_ his support on that principle, nor oil the ground even of the Pea _tioners being, s2coaded by siuilar petittons from other counties. The ground on. which he was dis posed. to,rectti- e the Pella ,n was, that he thought the House orCommans should open wide its doors to receive the complaints of the people. With this feeling he should gese oegatise e to the of the Right Honotfrable Gentleman for rejeEting the eWith respect to the paragraph alluded .to as being obje , etionable, he cettainly was of opinion ihae.it had been better omitted; . bat when he took into his consideration the sort of representation now existing, and the grievances re-uoing there frOm, le did not think the language of Jlie Petition should be examined with too scrupulous an eye ; convinced as he was of. the inadequacy-of the re presentation, he should not be surprised if, the people expieSsed their dise‘mtents in stronger lan gatage than the House had been used to listen to. The Petition, be dici not conceive, was so flamed as that it ought to, be rejected, for it had ah the • charader,of a Petition, it finished with a prayer in the usual form. It prayed for Parliamentary Reform, and was any man disposed, to deny that was' not necessary in, the present state of things ?- Was •the House disposed to regard the declaration of . that necessity , as a libel'? Was it not true that seats had been bought and sold, and had any cen sure been passed upon the offending. parties ? The Hon. Gentlethan concluded with supporting tins Petition. Mr. D. GIDDY observed, that the Hon. Gentle . man had said. that the doors of the House ought to be opened wide to .P,titions. To that assertion he gave his consent ;' but if a Paper profes. ing to be a Petition contained. not lung more or -Icss than a di rep insult to that House, was that any reason why the House should receive it ? Th e Petition did not ask 'redress, but dictated to the House what course to pursue. It celled, for- Reform, and instead of stating grievances, demanded the Hoiloe to review its former decision. On the subject of Reform, he, should at present abstain from saying any thing far ther than, that changing the virtual representation • into - a deputation of the:people would be att'kided :with the, most , evil cohsequences. his opinion the wording of the Petition was highly disrespect fni, and en the whole, was such as the House could not, receive. If the Petition were received, others might be presented of a similar tendency. The. House,, in his opinion, ought to make a stand, and no time-Avasoltroper as the present: It' had lx!en saidthat the'Petition was the unaniinoos voice of the county of- Middlesex ; he was disposed to respect the voice of the people, except when that voice was the echo of a ineh. The House was aware of what ,wasmeant by the unanimity' of a popular assemblage u the neighbourhood of, great towns, and in, What - manner that unanimity was ob: tairred.' With all his respect for poi.ular meetings , he could not entertain any great - opinion of the 'candour or liberality which. governed the meet ing 'in question; when it was_known, that they re, fused to hear the sentiments of one of the -Repre sentatives of the county (Mr; Mellish) because they thought he would differ with them. He must vote for the rejection of the Petitit.n..on te gruands he had stated. Mr. HAWKINS BROWSE was decidedly against the Petition being received, becauie it 'Contained ex pressions and language which the House could not entertain. Petitions, in . his opinion, might be re ceived, .they professe4 to have different view: from those generally entertained by the if ou,e, tl'4
